Guests to the Parish Hall in Fort Coulonge were in for a double helping of something sweet on Saturday evening, when the Sugar Bush Supper saw some young entertainers follow up the meal.
At the second annual meal, organized by the local Knights of Columbus, Le Patro and the Daughters of Isabella, nearly 200 diners filled the hall for a hearty dose of a maple-themed meal.
“We didn’t think we’d have that much, but it worked out that way,” said Grand Knight Yvon Guay, of the turnout.
With a meal meant to resemble a sugar shack’s offerings, including pancakes, beans, sausages, and much more, there was only one way to follow that meal. That’s with a healthy helping of sugar pie, of course.

The meal was prepared by a dedicated team of volunteer cooks and organizers who made sure to pay homage to the group. All the volunteers got a round of applause for their cooking, once everyone had a full plate in front of them.
Entertainment following the dinner was a wide assortment of gifted residents.
“We have a bit of music and some local young talent,” said Guay.
The younger entertainers warmed up the stage with singing and acoustic guitar sets as well as violin performances. Acts following all the talented youngsters had a run for their money with the talent gracing the stage that evening being so grand.
Rounding out the fun for the evening was a variety of door prizes, plus plenty of chances to take home a fat wallet with a 50/50 draw.
“It was a success last year, so it was brought back,” said Guay.
